A cruise to the "blue cave" in west Izu

West Izu, where the remnants of the submarine volcano era can be seen along the shoreline, is dotted with many national parks and places of scenic beauty, and on this cruise, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from the water. The cruise boat slips between looming, sheer cliffs, and into a mystical space known as the "blue cave", where you are enveloped by the light shining through the natural skylight, offering the perfect experience of the rich nature of Dogashima. Besides the "Cave Excursion" course, there is the "Dogashima Cruise", where you get to ride on a high-speed cruiser, the "Senkanmon Cruise" filled with many highlights, and the "Geo-site Cruise" where you are accompanied and guided by an Izu Peninsula-certified geo-guide.
